Publisher's Summary

The charming yet clueless professor.

Dr. Vail Mifflin loves the history of organized crime. Teaching and writing about the adventures of mobsters are his life’s work. To Vail, the stories he tells are just that - fun accounts he doesn’t think of as real. When Dr. Mifflin gets too close to the modern-day mob truth while researching a book he’s writing, his life begins to fall apart.

The Irish mob killers.

Rowen, Cillian, Aspen, and Fallon work for the Killough Company, the Irish mob that controls the Eastern Seaboard of the US. They go to one of Dr. Mifflin’s lectures to hear a few stories about the old-timers. That day, the men save Dr. Mifflin from an Italian mafioso, who didn’t like the things Dr. Mifflin lectured about. With this one unintended kind act, these killers become entangled in Vail’s life.

Death and danger in unexpected places.

As the band of killers get to know Vail, they realize that instead of focusing on the history of the mob, he’s trying to write an up-to-date account. Normally they would murder a man who planned to divulge their secrets, but it’s clear Vail doesn’t truly understand the danger he’s in. Their only choice to keep him alive is to protect him and convince him to stop. Vail struggles with ADHD and is reluctant to let go of his career, the one thing he feels he is good at. Unfortunately word is already out that Vail knows things he shouldn’t, and keeping him safe won’t be simple.

How Did You Survive Without Us? ends on a small cliff-hanger for Vail, but the next book is already written, so you won’t have to wait to find out what happens next!

One of the Best books I’ve ever read in this Genre

I’m sure you’ve already read from other comments that this book is 100% worth the read (if it’s a genre you’re into) with the kind of kinks, characters and plot that will make you laugh, question your morals and give you those tummy butterflies. Keeping in mind everything written is obviously fantasy and written to entertain and not educate - The cherry on top for me is that the neurodivergent character was written by someone who I feel actually understands the lived experience of someone who is ADHD or on the spectrum. His frustrations, fixations and thought patterns are so relatable I could cry and I love how he was written in the story. I can’t wait for the next book! Also one of the best narrations I’ve ever heard - the narrator did such a great job with the accents and telling the story I actually enjoyed listening to it more than I would reading it myself. 10/10 would recommend!!
